Almost Over!

Well today seems to be the best day so far for camryn. She is no longer vomitting and seems to be getting her appetite better. She still has really bad diarreah but it is happening less often...thank goodness! She has also been sleeping alot which is kind of nice. Out of this whole thing the best part of her being sick was the amount of cuddling she did. she isn't much of a cuddler otherwise but this weekend while she was really sick she would lay on my chest and sleep and daddy wans't good enough it had to be mommy!
I am so happy that she is feeling better because i have a girls nigh tonight with my gunther girl cousins. THere is 7 of us all within 4 years of age, we've always gotten along and do the occasional get together. I believe we are good friends thanks to my grandma for making an effort when we were little to have us all over for sleep overs several times a year so that we could get together and be close. That was her dream and it has come true. most of us are married and half of us have kids but it's great to get together and get out of the house.
Well i need to get ready but i will leave you with the pictures i promised you yesterday!

Worst Weekend EVER!

Back in the day the worst weekend ever would mean you didn't get enough sleep and were dreading Monday morning when you had to get up early for bed. However as a parent that is all different. The worst weekend is when one of your children is violently ill and you get no sleep cause you are busy rocking your child, washing soiled bedding and clothes and going back and forth to the doctors! That is the worst weekend because there was nothing i could do to prevent it or make it better! So here goes my weekend.



Thursday night Camryn got sick at the table and projectile barfed across the table. I thought it must have been something she ate as she was gagging just before she threw up. We cleaned her up and then john walked aroudn with her while she did it two more times. Still thinking it was the food we took her home cause we were at my sisters and fed her her bedtime bottle and put her down. Half an hour after she is asleep there is a funny noise from her room and then crying. I run in and she is covered and i mean covered in vomit and so is everything else around her! eek. so we throw her in the tub and wash her up. She continues to vomit and so i say what the heck i am taking her to emergency. Camryn had the stomach fly at 2.5 months and was hospitalized for two days. I knwo how fast they can dehydrate. So i spend my night waitng in the waiting room lookin glike a liar cause camryn is smiling, and cooing and doing patty cake for everyone! But i stayed and the doctor saw her and said it might just be a gag reflex thing and to just skip formula for the night. So we bring her home at 1am and put her in her crib, 3am she wakes up barfing again, not too much seeings there really isn't anything in her stomach and then goes back to sleep. She woke up at 8:30 and i pick her up and she is HOT! I take her temperature and it is at 102. So i guess it has nothing to do with gag reflexes doctor but the stomach flu..great. All day she just lays on me and then barfs and then sleeps and then barfs she doesn't want anything. By 8pmI take her to my family doctor who is on call at the walk in clinic because she has not peed since the ngiht before. He seems concerend and tells me about gravol suppositories and tylenol suppositories...who knew.

Saturday morning John is woken up by a horrible smell he goes in to camryn;s room and discovers her sleeping in diarreah. It was soo bad. Poor little girl. She was a bit more like her self during the day but woudl want to eat but then have diarreah and then crash.

Today we skipped church as she still has diarreah she is sleeping ALOT, probably to catch up.. She is eating her bottles(which i just read you should not feed them formula when they have diarreah!oops) not sure what to do cause she will NOT drink that pedalyte stuff. She still has diarreah and a lot of cramping but no fever (or Beaver as janae would say). She just went down and is now sleeping so we'll see how the rest of the night goes and tomorrow. I feel so bad for janae cause she basically has been on her own. i am used to spending alot of my day with her and now all of my attention was on camryn because she just wanted to be held and sleep on me.
John took Janae saturday morning to the 4x4 show at the tradex where she had a blast and today john took her to the pool. It's great having a husband, you really appreciate them at times like this where you really need another person. Now my only fear is that Janae is going to get it. Oh i hope and pray she doens't. I really don't want to deal with another sick child.

It was so hot this weekend and with camryn having a fever and wanting to be on me all the time i sent john out to buy an aircondioner for the window. So we have been able to stay sane!



Well that is a lot of reading so i am going to call it quits for now. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Please feel free to leave a comment so i know that you are still out there.

ok so it won't let me download any photos so i will next time.

crawling backwards!

OH boy! Where to begin. Well I will start with our week vacation in Tulemeen. We left Saturday morning with the rest of my family which is 9 adults and 5 kids (4 under the age of 2)!! We were all able to make it to princeton without stopping for crying children and had lunch at A&W. Tulemeen is a 30 minute drive through the mountains on a very windy road from Princeton. WE arrived at the house my parents rented and got settled in. The house was gorgeous. The week was very relaxing. My family enjoys sitting around doing absolutely nothing, but i like to be out and about so we went to the local playground and beach daily. It was a great trip the kids slept great. We had little to no expectations so it was awesome to have great sleepers and everything work out smoothly! So that was our great adventure, makes me more confident in going to seattle for a couple of nights and hitting up the aquarium and zoo! If anyone has advice about which hotel to stay at that is close to one of the attractions let me know!

Camryn is moving around, doing a lot of bum scooting, she does try and crawl but is moving backwards! last night I raised her side bar in her crib thinking that one day she is just going to roll out of her bed, even though she never rolls over even though she knows how. And we discovered her asleep with her arm holding the bar. i will post a picture of this! She is such an awesome baby. We had Kris and Annette over last night and i forgot she was there!

This past Saturday my mom and my youngest brother BJ jumped out of a plane at 14,000ft! Yep my mom went skydiving. She has always wanted to do this but my dad wouldn't let her because he didn't want anything to happen to her and leave him with us kids to raise! So my mom turned 50 this past May and us kids gave her a gift, it's a piece of paper numbered from 1-50 and through out the year this paper will be filled with events or gifts that she receives or does with one of us. So BJ took her sky diving as one of the 50 things. She has received so far flowers each month from one of us kids and stepping stones from her grandchildren. Jackie and Steven took her to the sandcastles in whiterock and I took her to the quilt show and we are going to see mama mia. And my dad is taking her on an alaskan cruise Sept 6! So it is a fun filled year for her. the plan is that for her 51st birthday we will present her with a scarpbook of some sort of all the events and gifts she has received as we have been taking pictures of everything and keeping ticket stubs and stuff like that. So ya.

Janae is getting smarter every day! The words that come out of her mouth sometimes are crazy , The other day she asked to sit in my chair and I told her that i was sitting in it but she could sit in daddy;s chair. so she walked over to his chair and said," I sit in daddy's chair for a reason!!" what? anyways she makes us laugh!

Well that is all I feel like writing, i really should write more often so that i remember everything that is happening in the Jefremow household!!
